"Everyone had to sacrifice," Tuggle said. "We need to add officers to the streets."

Officers going into patrol are coming from other units.

Tuggle views the patrol violence as a deterrent to "retaliatory...generational violence."

Mayor Catherine Pugh said she wants the patrol officer positions to be more of an incentivized position.

She also announced the launch of a new Cadet-Apprenticeship program to create a pipeline of experienced police officers in the city. The Maryland Apprenticeship and Training Council has approved the program.

Currently, 11 cadets are in the program. She is hoping for 20 cadets by the end of the year.

Qualified cadets can enter the program at age 18 and remain until they are 20.5. The starting salary is $30,000 and includes full employment benefits.
